Crust Preparation

Filling Preparation

Filling Coloring
  1. If desired, divide the filling into two portions and add a few drops of green food coloring to one half, stirring gently.
Dessert Assembly
  1. Using a piping bag, alternately pipe layers of the plain and colored filling into the prepared dessert glasses.
  2. Repeat until the glasses are filled to the top.
Chilling
